NEW YORK, June 30-The street was com.
pletely mystitied at the developments in
Manhattan stock yesterday. But few of the
operators believe that Cyrus w. Field had
suffered heavily by the deal The transfer.
as far as made known, was of Fields third in
the 10000 shares pool, and the price Mr..
Gould told friend was Sl25 share Mr.. Field
is still believed to hold nearly $4,000 shares
Of the stock, and it was reported that
enough of this would be taken by Jaw
Gould to give him absolute control of the
property. One story circulated was to the
effect that the sale was forced by call for
100000 more margins on loans being carried
by Field, while another report made Field tho
party who started the break and Gould the
purchaser of his stock in order to relieve the
market
The announcement of the deal was fol-
lowed by rumors that Jay Gould had agreed
to take the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph sys-
tenn, form new company, and place Austin
Corbin in control Corbin ridicules the
story, but the talk was accompanied by heavy
buying orders and the stock advanced over
"A per cent. on the strength developed by it.
MIR. Gould Is also said to have taken up
about $4,000 shares of Reading stock.
ana InB brokers' DelleVe that more
deals are forthcoming, New England came
in for its share Of the rumors, and it was
said that the directors of the road had bought
the Derby railway Of Connecticut, and that
negotiations are now pending by which the
New England road will enter New York
over the Manhattan railway tracks The
story that Henry Hart had sold most of his
Pacific Mail was confirmed to-day by the de.
livery Of a great many certificates in his
name He is understood to be no longer in
control Of the company.
The Evening Sun says that Henry S. Ives
holds the option on the whole Baltimore sys-
tenn, that he doesn't want the telegraph, and
is negotiating with Gould to take it off his
hands. The Sun also says that friendly re-
lations have been proclaimed between
Gould and Hart, and that the latter
claims to have enough Pacific Mail stock
slowed away to secure his control It is the
general impression. among members of the
stock exchange that a deal has actually
been made and that the control of the Balti.
